Rockingham Ranch’s Stormy Liberal, in a virtual rerun of his victory in the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) at Del Mar, came running late to again nail stablemate Richard’s Boy at the wire in Friday’s $88,840 Green Flash Stakes over the same turf course, this time the margin was a nose. It’s the second straight win and sixth stakes victory for the 6-year-old son of Stormy Atlantic, consigned by Wavertree Stables, Inc. (Ciaran Dunne), Agent, to the 2014 OBS June Sale, where he turned in an Under Tack eighth in :10 2/5 before he was purchased for $100,00. Now 28-10-8-1 for trainer Peter Miller, he has earned $1,308,930 to date. watch his under tack video

Nicholas Vaccarezza and Michael A. Pietrangelo’s Little Chesney came off the rail turning for home in Sunday’s $75,000 Jupiter Beach Stakes at Gulfstream, took over in the final furlong and eased away late to win by a length and three quarters. It’s the first stakes win for the 4-year-old City Zip gelding, trained by Carlo Vaccarezza, now 10-4-1-1 with $139,495 in earnings. Consigned by All In Sales (Tony Bowling), Agent, to the 2016 OBS March Sale, he turned in an Under Tack eighth in :10 flat before he was purchased for $70,000. watch his under tack video
